Oh dear, I thought I had seen it all, but then I found "6 Ways Is A Science-Stopper" at [lukenixblog.blogspot.com] . At least it gave me a good laugh. 🙂

"If the universe produced mathematics, it would have no reason to adhere to the laws of mathematics."
What?
I stopped right there.
First, who says mathematics was "produced" at all?
From an Agnostic perspective, this seems questionable.
What if the universe itself is god?
The Big Bounce (not the Big Bang) theory has it the universe has ALWAYS existed and goes through eternal cycles of life, death and rebirth...
If that's true, the universe, including mathematics, logic, physics, etc., was never "produced" (created), but instead has ALWAYS been here, along with all it's aspects and constituent parts.
IF so, the validity of his entire six-parter is built on a faulty foundational premise.
Suppose for a second, god is 'universal consciousness,' flowing through matter and energy.
Since matter and energy are actually two forms of the same thing, and are the basic essence of, well, everything, all the "laws" the author speaks of could've 'just been there.'
In other words, 'God' wouldn't have had to 'create' energy and matter because god IS energy and matter, according to this logic.
They say god has always existed, right? And they also say energy can neither be created or destroyed?
There you go.

A quote from the introduction,
"If atheism is true, "
Atheists do not believe.
Therefore the quote is like saying "if disbelief in fairies or Santa is true", implying that their existence is true.
Think about that.

The very title is an oxymoron. Faith requires one to not think hence to believe all the crap in the paper. It's call spin which is not just a setting on a washing machine.
Of course it can't touch the very fact that most reputable scientists are atheists.

I disagree with the supernatural concept as presented by the article, yet the article does make some good and valuable points IMO.

Science does have its limitations.

... but science recognises its limitations, and seeks to overcome them.
